Our 4×4 driving school makes a perfect day out – whether it’s for professional training, a special birthday surprise or a large group. We cater for drivers of all abilities, who soon learn that skill and not speed is the main attribute required to negotiate the tricky terrain. The easy start to the day is tea and coffee on arrival, a quick safety briefing and how the car works then in the trucks and the fun begins. We've zoned off our dedicated 30 acres into sections that progressively get harder as the day goes on.. but all courses ensure you become accustomed to the vehicle and terrain before advancing to the more challenging Zones (mudhole) (forbidden forest-full day only) we run groups of 5 or more on any date of your choosing.. single vouchers will be on the group sessions that run every weekend!
